The early twentieth-century world of The Farmer’s Wife may be vastly different than our own hectic, high-tech times, but some things never change—like a taste for the kind of food that’s cooked all day, the long-simmered stews and chilis, pot roasts and soups and puddings that savor of comfort and care. Culled from the pages of The Farmer’s Wife and adapted for contemporary lifestyles and kitchenware, these recipes help today’s cook recapture the full rich flavor of slow-cooked food steeped in the traditions of America’s heartland. With a modicum of preparation in the morning or even the night before, anyone can come home to the kind of meals that yesterday’s farmer’s wife prepared; the slow-cooked beans and barbeque, casseroles, and hot dishes that could serve a few friends, a big hungry family, or a whole community. For party dishes that let a host focus on guests; for meals that won’t heat up the summer kitchen; for hearty, delicious fare to satisfy gatherings big and small with leftovers to store for later meals, these slow-cooker recipes are the perfect time-wise, money-saving way to dish up a great helping of farmland history.

Culled from the pages of The Farmer’s Wife and adapted for today’s lifestyles and kitchenware, these recipes help today’s cook recapture the full rich flavor of slow-cooked food steeped in the traditions of America’s heartland.

From the Back Cover:

Long before the Internet and high-speed travel connected us all, The Farmer’s Wife magazine gave hard-working rural women a place to find and share advice about everything from raising chickens to running a farm kitchen. Work on the farm was never-ending, so any recipes or advice that allowed women to spend less time in the kitchen was very welcome.

Slow cookers were the answer to many prayers. Women no longer had to slave over a hot stove for hours to prepare a meal. You could throw a few ingredients in the pot early in the morning, plug it in, turn it on, and there was a scrumptious meal ready when the dinner hour rolled around. These classic recipes from The Farmer’s Wife have been updated to be used in today’s modern kitchen with an electric slow cooker. Everything from soups and main dishes to desserts can be created in your slow cooker. These classic recipes offer the readers nostalgia with little time in the kitchen thanks to today’s technology.
